Green Housing Coordination Amendment Act of 2025

The Green Housing Coordination Amendment Act of 2025 requires developers receiving Housing Production Trust Fund dollars for new construction to design buildings to Enterprise Green Communities Certification Plus standards, which include net zero energy readiness features. It also mandates adding rooftop solar where feasible for new construction and substantial renovations, while adjusting net zero energy (NZE) requirements to better align with current economic realities for renovation projects. The bill aims to balance future sustainability goals with practical affordability for subsidized housing developers, particularly addressing concerns about costly retrofits. It directly affects affordable housing developers using public funds, ensuring new projects incorporate renewable energy readiness without imposing immediate, unaffordable NZE compliance.
